Edgewell Personal Care Co. Stock Plummets to New 52-Week Low of $18.72

Edgewell Personal Care Co. has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 18.72 as of October 29, 2025. This marks a significant decline for the small-cap company, which operates within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. Over the past year, Edgewell's stock has experienced a notable downturn, with a performance drop of 50.39%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 18.33% during the same period.
The company's financial metrics reveal a challenging landscape. Edgewell's market capitalization stands at USD 1,298 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 13.00. The dividend yield is notably high at 234.92%, although this figure may reflect underlying financial pressures. The return on equity is reported at 7.30%, while the price-to-book ratio is 0.83, indicating a potential undervaluation relative to its assets.

In recent years, Edgewell has struggled with stagnant growth, as evidenced by a net sales growth rate of just 2.07% annually and a decline in operating profit of 4.92% over the last five years. The company's operating cash flow has also hit a low of USD 118 million, further highlighting its current financial challenges.
